Excellent article Marie! Black hat SEO has been getting on my nerves lately. Not many SEOs are getting on board with creating quality and fresh content on their client's websites. It's only a matter of time before those "Black Hats" who are breaking the rules get heavy penalised with future algorithm updates.

Having Black Hat SEO companies around makes it hard for the guys who are actually playing by the rules. Obviously White Hat SEO takes more time and effort, therefore is more expensive. Unfortunately many business owners don't understand this concept, and are just looking for quick results for the lowest price.
